stripping the screw out problem

[KrAzY-JATO #1]

the 2 screws that hold the back shock tower on keep stripping do you have the same problem this is going to be the second time i take it apart all the gears and gear box and put it all back together it take some man hours to make sure it is all correct :( :unsure: :wacko:

try using a longer screw so there is more contact patch...

Bro you wanna get a stainless screw set. I just got one and it has enough screws to rebuild the jato twice over, they never strip.

Why would you have to take the trans apart? i loosten my 2 screws and i pull back and up at the ame time and it pops off.. took me 2 min to put my aluminum one on.

+1 You must be doing something wrong if you have to go through all that work to change your shock tower.

I got it off eBay UK. Search for 'Jato' and you'll see the screw sets, he may ship internationally.

I don't think you can buy screw sets anywhere else or in model shops over here.

New Era makes a very nice stainless steel screw set.

You do not want stainless. Stainless screws are very soft. Stainless is softer than regular hardened screws.

if you can find it...go titanium...though Porsche probably posted the best bet....

Titanium is strong and ligh, but softer than 12.9 Grade Alloy Steel.
